Interface for classes encapsulating a point multiplication algorithm for ECPoints.
/** * Interface for classes encapsulating a point multiplication algorithm * for <code>ECPoint</code>s. */
public interface ECMultiplier {
Multiplies the ECPoint p by k, i.e. p is added k times to itself.
Params:
  • p – The ECPoint to be multiplied.
  • k – The factor by which p is multiplied.
Returns:p multiplied by k.
